Saudi Arabia's defense minister said Sunday that he and other top officials are "astonished" by accusations that Saudi Arabia has aligned itself with Russia due to OPEC's decision to cut oil production by two million barrels a day.
"Although the OPEC+ decision, which was taken unanimously, was due to purely economic reasons, some accused the Kingdom of standing with Russia," Khalid bin Salman, the defense minister, tweeted on Sunday.
"Iran is also a member of OPEC, does this mean that the Kingdom is standing with Iran as well?"

Iran is also a member of OPEC, does this mean that the Kingdom is standing with Iran as well?

That's got to leave a mark.
“I am shocked, SHOCKED, that there is such suspicion, profiling and pessimism going on in this dialogue!!”
They definitely will be after the Uketards get done “punishing” them.
I agree. I don’t see KSA aligning with Russia. In the current climate, KSA is going to play this close to the vest.
What does the west have left to offer the Saudis? The only “shining city on a hill” the west offers is a green, perverted Gomorrah. The Saudis hate and despise everything the west now stands for. OPEC+ soon to be closely affiliated with BRICS.
Damn Biden is just pissing off one ally after another. For what?
Stupid azz MoFo.
Who said they were?
That would be silly considering it is Iran that is selling arms to Putin.
Biden and his stupidity pissed them off, God only knows what he said to them in person.
Can’t disagree
> Who said they were? <
It has to be either stupid Biden or someone in his stupid cabinet. If those guys can make a bad situation worse, they will do so instantly.
Can’t say I was “astonished” at accusations Trump was aligned with Russia. I don’t think the Saudis are astonished either. What word describes the feeling when you are presented with a blatant lie and expected to believe it? “Astonished” is too mild.
For the Saudis it was simply about $$$....for Putin it was surely at least partially political.
Saudi Arabia is not a Russian ally, and Russia’s support for
Iran getting nuclear weapons is part of the reason why.
Biden seems poised to drive Saudi Arabia in that direction,
but I don’t see that happening. (I might add, this is an
Obama goal > IMO)
The Russian destabilization that the Iran Nuclear bomb
would represent, is a threat to Saudi Arabia and the whole
region.
Europe would be in danger of being targeted in short order.
I also believe that Iran being an Islamic Caliphate would
lead to a close connection to terrorist groups that would
love to have access to nukes.
The Russian proxy Iran would soon have proxies of their
own, if they handed off tech to terrorists.
I sure wish Putin could find records there on bidens dealings. That would change a lot of things fast.
I believe you might be referencing the Ukraine there.
If not, I’m not sure what type of documents you might be
referencing in Iran or Saudi Arabia.
I’m all for Iran releasing anything related to Biden
treachery. The Ukraine too for that matter.
Just a senile puppet. That’s all Xiden is.
American progressives and greens handed over our energy security to China, Russia, Saudi, etc...
And then they only offer the Saudis printed money and threats
Retards.
According to the Bidenistas EVERYONE they don’t like is aligned with Russia.
